Design of Circular Silo Structure for Fodder Storage
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Civil Engineering
Abstract
When fodder production falling, the rates of fodder increases. This has forced farmers to ask the government to start fodder camps and every time setting of fodder camps would not be complete solution . In this view study is undertaken at Cattle Cross Breeding Project Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth Parbhani for determination of moisture content and density of maize silage and also design circular silo structure for cattles which would feed animals for three months in summer .Density and moisture content of maize silage is found to be 660.00 kg/m3 and 7.53% respectively. For C.C.B.P project three circular silo of diameter workout is 4.60 m and 9 meter depth which would be feed 171 animals for 90 days.
